* [[User:bernhard|bernhard]]: I took bus 77 to Mosgiel for a few dollars. From there I walked back to the highway which has a footpath and space to pull over all along into East Taieri. In East Taieri there is a 60km/h speed limit. However I got picked up way before just while walking along the footpath and putting my thumb out. In East Taieri there is plenty of great spots and cars are slow.

X marks the hitching spot
The most consistent way to get to Christchurch or North is to walk (or take a local bus $4) up Pine Hill to where the highway starts. There is space to pull over, and cars are travelling slowly after coming up the hill. It is very easy from here.
